This year's International Composer Festival at Konserthuset Stockholm is dedicated to the Scottish composer James MacMillan. His music combines raw emotional power with spiritual focus, rooted in his Catholic faith.

The concert begins with an overture: Eleven. Music with a sports theme, inspired by the local football teams in East Ayrshire, Scotland, where MacMillan grew up. Eleven refers to the number of players in a team, and much of the music is built around the number eleven. The piece starts with the sound of a referee's whistle, and familiar melodies from football chants also emerge.

At the heart of the expressive second violin concerto is a simple theme with just three notes played pizzicato at the beginning. As often in MacMillan's music, there are dance-like elements, but also melancholic passages that can suddenly burst open and let in light, like clearings in a dark forest. The soloist is the acclaimed Swedish violinist Ava Bahari.

In the short piece One for chamber orchestra, the atmosphere is idyllic with simple folk music-inspired melodies. Tryst has strong elements of Scottish folk music, but also of other music that has been important to him. "Tryst" can refer to a secret meeting place for lovers, but farmers in Scotland often use the word to describe a place where animals gather, a "trysting place". Here, MacMillan uses Tryst to describe a meeting place for music that is dear to him.

The Swedish Chamber Orchestra performs under the direction of Brett Dean, who himself was the subject of the International Composer Festival at Konserthuset in 2011, but is also internationally active as a conductor.

English

Årets Internationella tonsättarfestival i Konserthuset ägnas den skotske tonsättaren James MacMillan. Hans musik kombinerar rå emotionell kraft med andlig koncentration, grundad i hans katolska tro. 

Konserten inleds med en uvertyr: Eleven. Musik med sporttema, inspirerad av de lokala fotbollslagen i East Ayrshire i Skottland där MacMillan växte upp. Eleven – elva – är antalet spelare i ett lag och här bygger mycket i musiken på talet elva. Stycket börjar med ljudet av en domares visselpipa och fram tonar också melodier som vi känner igen från fotbollssånger. 

Kärnan i den uttrycksfulla andra violinkonserten är ett enkelt tema med bara tre toner som spelas pizzicato i inledningen. Som ofta i MacMillans musik finns danslika inslag, men också melankoliska partier som plötsligt kan spricka upp och släppa in ljus, likt gläntor i en mörk skog. Solist är den prisade svenska violinisten Ava Bahari.

I den korta One för kammarorkester är atmosfären idyllisk med enkla folkmusikinspirerade melodier. Tryst har starka inslag av skotsk folkmusik, men också av annan musik som varit viktig för honom. Tryst kan avse en hemlig mötesplats för älskande par, men lantbrukare i Skottland använder ofta ordet om en plats där djuren samlas, en ”trysting place”. Här använder MacMillan Tryst för att beskriva en mötesplats för musik som står honom nära. 

Svenska Kammarorkestern gästspelar under ledning av Brett Dean, som själv var föremål för tonsättarfestivalen i Konserthuset 2011, men också är internationellt verksam som dirigent.
